ALTERNATE MUSIC: For a little faster challenge, try this to “What A Man Gotta Do” (113 BPM). Good for split-floor!
We (using the Julia Wetzel dance structure) start the dance after a 24-count intro. On Wall 5, in preparation for a Restart after 16 counts, modify the Crossing Shuffle to a simple Cross.
